Lukashenka Flag Removed From Minsk Centre

One of the paragraphs of the decree was classified.

Aliaksandr Lukashenka decided to make adjustments to his own decree of 1997 "On the Standard." The document was published on the National Legal Internet Portal on November 1.

The decree prescribes a new location of the "standard". Now it is Lukashenka's office in his official residence - in the Palace of Independence.

The flag will be raised there during Lukashenka's stay in the country. It will be replaced by the "state flag" during his departure. In addition, the standard will be traditionally placed on Lukashenka's transport and "in places of events with his participation, as well as in other cases". Other cases are determined by Lukashenka himself.

One of the paragraphs of the decree has not been published - it is "for official use".

Earlier, the "standard" was placed in the residence at 38 Karl Marx Street in Minsk.
